“Water by the Spoonful is the kind of play that can live or die by its staging, and set designer Inseung Park has envisioned the perfect playground for Ruiz. It’s clean, sleek and sharp, with clear, naturally defined spaces that flow together beautifully as a whole and an eye-catching collection of graffitied windows arching overhead. Despite some cracked sidewalks and sporadically sprouting weeds, this Constructivist concrete jungle, minimalist and economic in design, morphs easily from Philly apartment to Puerto Rican paradise, Japanese train station to IRS office, relying on nothing more than the dialogue” – HoustonPress
